Hack to crack

Speed up your internet by
20%

Microsoft
reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like
Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc

You can get it
back:

Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without
quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer
Policy
then Computer Configuration
then Administrative Templates
then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable
Bandwidth.

Double
click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but
the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler
limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you
can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to
ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the
system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works on Win
2000 as well.
